Isoacoustics Gaia ll footers plus carpet spikes
Forgot to mention one more thing - make sure that the speaker placement is as precise as possible. While adding the spikes, the left speaker moved up 3/4 inch up, when measured from the back wall (compared to the right speaker). And that messed up... 
Isoacoustics Gaia ll footers plus carpet spikes
I added the carpet spikes for the Gaia II under my speakers a couple of days ago. I am not going to say, it improved this, it made that fantastic, etc. All I will say is, if you have the footers, then do not skimp on the spikes. I have removed the... 
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
@melm,Thank You for responding to my question. I was curious because a couple of other DAC advertised the I2S advantage over USB.This 005 DAC is interesting because of it's price to performance factor. But the issue seems to be that there is no lo... 
Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what?
So the irritating poster from down under does not post here anymore and we all stop talking about Class D?I was wondering if anyone got a chance to compare Purifi Vs GAN amps? 
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
@dbb,This is an amazing comparison. I don't think I have read a professional review that makes such clean comparison. In my books I had give up on the ESS DAC chip - not because of the poor implementation in some cheap DACs, but because they are a... 
Isoacoustic puck mini's or orea bronze for 12 pound tube preamp
@paulcreed ,Was wondering if you could share your "extended" experience with the mini pucks under the preamp. I was thinking of getting the Isopuck mini over Orea bronze under my preamp and disc player. 
What are we going to do about Tele 12AU7 prices
I had Psvane 12AX7's. = trash next to a Tele Well, I don't know about 12AX7 since I did not use them. In my system the Psvane 12AU7s sound phenomenal. Some of the user reviews suggest that they replaced some NOS with the Psvanes and they were m... 
Carpet Killed High Frequencies In My Music Listening Area
One of the things you NOW need to take care is about the cables lying on the floor. If possible raise them off the carpets. Will definitely sound silly. But makes a big difference, if you don’t take care of this issue. Use paper cups or cheap stuf...

Try Psvane from vivatubes. 
Splendor D9’s.2 vs B&W 803 D2 which I own
You are welcome @bfoura. Just make sure that you have at least 36" behind the speakers. With your room, you can easily do 60" behind the speakers and 36" to the sides. This would give you the most transparent sound and the bass will not overpower ... 
Splendor D9’s.2 vs B&W 803 D2 which I own
+1 for the Spendors. I heard the D7s and they sounded musical. I did hear some rock music on the smaller Spendors and they rocked. No doubt the updated bigger brother (D9.2) will take it to the next level of scale and dynamics. But make sure that ... 
ATC SCM7 or Legacy Studio HD for small living room?
I have heard the Legacy Studio HD at AXPONA a couple years ago. I could not believe it was this speaker that was playing the music. Because there was a floor stander next to it and the music had the weight and scale that would suit the floor stand... 
KEF Reference 3 or Raidho X2?
I have heard the Reference 3 multiple times and they make beautiful music. Just give them some breathing space and you should be good. What is the rest of your system?Have not heard the Raidho, so cannot comment on that one.

Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers
@ryder , Does anyone know if the Isoacoustics Gaia require break in after installation to sound good? I first thought you were kidding. But if you do not hear improvements immediately after installing them as suggested by Isoacoustics, then you n...
